I always think of the part in "Out of Africa" where they try to dam the water and the native says, "this water lives in Mombasa". Water should be allowed to live where it was born. Thank you for some good news.

I've always thought it silly that men think they can do a better job than Mother Nature..the Misssissippi River still floods, but all that good soil isn't going down to the Gulf like it should...:(

Thank you for the article- It was interesting reading---We all need to know this information- I love the idea that nature can heal its self if only man would get out the way ---We need to reverse many more river problems that we HUMANS caused and we can correct - particularly here on the Mississippi ===with all the diversion canals that were dug by OIL COMPANIES and screwed up our wetlands and marshes down here in LOUISIANA--that is what adds to our lack of HURRICANE PROTECTION --we are losing land by the football fields every day down here--- In just a few years communities just wash away into the gulf---PERIOD - Put Nature Back the way she was before we messed with it---

In Dundee the river Tay was polluted for generations so much so that many fish species disappeared along with seals and some wading birds.About seven years ago water treatment plants were installed and all sewage is treated in them before being pumped back into the river.There has been a big change in the river we now have the return of Sea Trout and salmon and seals and even Dolphins and a great increase in the bird population.It was worth the effort and the expense.The removal of the dams will pay big dividends in the future,
